Reader Ron Satterly wonders whether other audiophiles consider component break-in necessary before critical listening. How long should a component be broken-in before it reaches peak performance?

To evaluate the effect of MP3 conversion on an audio file, I would like to find software will produce a WAV file that is the difference between the best match between two sample WAV files.
If File1.WAV is the original, and is converted to File2.MP3 and then reconverted to File3.WAV, the difference between File1.WAV and File3.WAV (= file4.WAV) should reveal the sound lost (or added) in compression, provided that one can match the sync and levels appropriately.

Last night I pulled out an album from 1977 and was thinking about how every now and again, there comes an album that insinutates itself into your rotation that never makes it to the 'reissue zone' and deserves higher regard than being left behind.
So, what are your lost gems that you would encourage people to seek out and acquire?
I'll limit myself to two:
1) Karla Bonoff's eponymous album from, as I mentioned, 1977. It's got Waddy on it, and Wendy Waldman, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Edwards, Andrew Gold, JD Souther, and Glenn Frey.
